History Main / TheTease

* Kid-friendly example in ''{{iCarly}}''. Carly mentions that she's making piña colada lip gloss. When Freddie asks if it actually tastes like it, she seductively asks him if he wants to find out. Of course, he eagerly agrees, only for her to rub some of it on her hand and smoosh it against his lips.

* In the case of ''{{Empowered}}'', it's the author doing this. He won't be showing any full nudity anytime soon - but is as close as you can be without showing the true thing.

* [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Doug Walker]] tends to act like this for fun and fanservice, even including jokingly flirting with his brother.

* [[CuteMonsterGirl Horo]] from ''SpiceAndWolf'' loves to tease her partner Lawrence- not with her body (they both have a pretty casual approach to nudity) but just by flirting with him about their relationship. Lawrence is quite capable of holding his own, though. The dialogue is so well written it's reminiscient of the movies of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.

* Momo of ''ToLoveRu'' regularly sneaks into Rito's bed, asks him where his Ero-mags are, and in one notable insistance pops up between his legs and offers to [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean help him with his love problems.]] She even freely admits that she wants to be his misress.

* [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Doug Walker]]. He's the exception to the rule that nobody is asking for it.

* [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Doug Walker]] tends to act like this for fun and fanservice, even including jokingly flirting with his brother. But in a rare example for a man, while the majority find it FetishFuel, comments calling him "fap fodder" and saying he's asking to be raped are distressingly common.

** Well, she seems to genuinely like Yumi. Who knows what would have happened if Sachiko hadn't been around.

'''Examples:'''

** Stolen straight from Two and a Half Men, where the naive Jake asked the same question to a girl and when she asked if he wanted to find out he said "sure", and when she leaned in for a kiss Jake scraped his finger over her lips then put it in his mouth.

* Bellemere in ''OnePiece''. At least, she ''[[DeathByOriginStory was.]]''
** How about her daughter, Nami? Beyond her manipulations of [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]], she also hits on a variety of shopkeepers to get discounts.

* ''MahouSenseiNegima'' has Evangeline order her RobotGirl squad to strip Negi naked and throw him into the bath with her while she's in her busty adult form, only for her to start [[KissOfTheVampire licking the cut on his arm]]. To a lesser extent, a number of girls in the class make liberal use of MarshmallowHell (especially [[ShotaCon Ayaka]]). Of course, [[CuteShotaroBoy Negi is ten]], so none of the girls actually get anywhere.

Sometimes these unfortunate implications are even Lampshaded with a GenderBender or a BosomBuddies scenario. The reverse with a SweetPollyOliver incident is rarer, but also tends to be DarkerAndEdgier.

* Kazuma of KazeNoStigma for a rare straight male example. It's very clear [[{{Tsundere}} how she feels]] but by the end of the show he's ''still'' just teasing, even though [[spoiler:he's inadvertently revealed that she's the closest living person to him now.]] Platonic? Romantic? Go read the light novels, maybe it's revealed there.

* Bellemere in OnePiece. At least, she ''[[DeathByOriginStory was.]]''

* Chihaya of {{Asu no Yoichi}} tease Yoichi this way. It doesn't seem she's ever been serious about taking it too far, just seeing how far she can push him before she gets stopped (by her elder sister when she goes full-out). She writes manga, so it's very clear what she's looking for.

* Ziva in {{NCIS}} frequently sends Tony's blood pressure ridiculously high on purpose.

* Karura in {{Utawarerumono}} does this a lot. Although she's generally joking or simply, well, teasing, it's pretty clear she would like to be taken up on her offers.

* Judith from TalesOfVesperia loves making Raven faint.

* Ranma of ''[[{{ptitlegynukzwikxmd}} Ranma ½]]'' is a GenderBender thanks to [[TransformationRay a fall in a Jusenkyo spring]]. While he [[IJustWantToBeNormal desires nothing less then to be cured]], he is still more then willing to use his female form's attractiveness to his advantage. In fact, he even seems to [[RealMenWearPink enjoy]] being able to make idiots of other guys simply by getting wet and then playing on their hormones- though he goes more for "cute" than outright sexy, at least by default, and he is not only straight, but prone to reacting violently to those who do try to act on those urges he stirs. Mostly, he uses this to charm guys into giving "her" free food or extra helpings, something a BigEater always welcomes, but he also enjoys using it to mess with the ever-so-shy (and clueless) [[TheRival Ryoga Hibiki]]. As two of his enemies, namely [[KidSamurai Tatewaki]] [[LordErrorProne Kuno]] and [[DirtyOldMan Happosai]], are [[LoveableSexManiac massive perverts]], he also finds himself falling into this routine easily to gain an extra advantage against them. In fact, against [[OldMaster Happosai]], this is often the only way Ranma can set things up so he can ''beat'' the disgusting old letch.
